Hello crafty friends! Today I'm here with a card for the Fall Coffee Lovers blog hop. I know there lots to see on the hop so I won't add too much detail. Please click the link to learn more about the hop or watch my video for more about my card.

As discussed in the video the stamps are from Create a Smile and Lawn Fawn. I used Inktense pencils to color the scene. I love the look of dimension that masking creates but there is none of the bulk and I know this card will get through the mail to it's recipient with no problem. Hope she likes it!

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing the Newton's Nook Designs Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Exclusive set. This set is perfect for fall and features most of the popular Newton characters including Newton himself. Today I created two very similar cards to show off two of the images in the set. For more on these cards check out my video below.

In the video I mention a small tip for coloring fall leaves. When you want the look of random colors consider that the artist has already tried to make the leaf shapes random and so if you follow their lead and color all the same shape the same colors you will get a great mix.

Ink Road is providing a $25 gift certificate to a random commenter so be sure to follow along to all the blogs and gather some inspiration and a chance to win. The Lawn Fawn products on today's card were Winter Bunny stamps and die, Stitched Hillside Borders, and Small Stitched Rectangles. Next up on the hop is Angel.

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card for the latest Lawnscaping challenge. Today's challenge is one layer! We want to see how you use your Lawn Fawn stamps directly on your card base to make a one layer card. This is such a tricky challenge butit can be fun to go outside your comfort zone. So for today's card I stamped and colored some of the fun images from Blue Skies. Check out my video for more on this card.

As you saw in the video there was a lot of masking to give this one layer card dimension. Also a quick tip when you are trying to blend out to white with Distress Ink try to use a light touch with only a small amount of ink on your blending tool. You can always add more color.

The sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn. They are offering a free stamp set of choice for the winner. Thank you Lawn Fawn for your support!

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card for the latest Lawnscaping challenge. Today's challenge is texture! We want to see something with any kind of texture including embossing paste or fabric elements, etc combined with some Lawn Fawn goodies. So for today's card I stamped and colored some of the fun images from Booyah to put over my starry background. Check out my video for more on this card.

I am so in love with the new Booyah stamp set because I can see using the costume pieces in combination with so many other Lawn Fawn stamp sets. I can't wait to see all the clever ways people use texture for this challenge.

The sponsor for this challenge is Ellen Hutson. There will be a $25 gift certificate of the Ellen Hutson store for the winner. Thank you Ellen for your support!
